Control the arm of others with our brain
The brain is an important organ of our body. Our brain helps to move our arms by generating electrical signals and sending them through nerves. But what will happen if arm stop receiving these signals? This will cause paralyze in the arm. The arm is receiving all the necessary ingredients and blood

Control the arm of others with our brain
Project Area of Specialization NeuroTechProject SummaryThe brain is an important organ of our body. Our brain helps to move our arms by generating electrical signals and sending them through nerves. But what will happen if arm stop receiving these signals? This will cause paralyze in the arm. The arm is receiving all the necessary ingredients and blood but not these signals. The focus of this project will be to develop a system that uses these signals generated by one person’s brain to move the arm of the second person and to create some interest in people to study Neuroscience and brain, as one out of five people will have a brain disorder at some point in their lives, but very few understand the brain. For this, extensive knowledge of Digital Signal Processing, NeuroScience, Neural Networks, Electronics, Bioelectricity, Machine Learning, Micro Controllers is required. This project is the indirect application of Human-Human interaction and direct application of the Brain-Computer interface. It is a hardware and research-based project that aims to use the electrical signal generated by the brain of the controlling person and transfer to the arm of the other person after some processing. This project can be used with some additions to cure diseases like arm Paralyses, hand tremors, and many others. The challenges during this project will be reading signals from one body and transfer it to another person’s body part.
Project ObjectivesMain objectives of this project are as follows:
- To make a system that is capable of reading brain signals from the arm of one person and transfer it to the other person's arm.
- To create interest in people to understand and study Neuroscience and brain.
Project is divided into four phases:
- Phase 1. In this phase mainly research work is done and information about all the components is acquired.
- Phase 2. In this phase research work with some implementations is done.
- Phase 3. In this phase, a working prototype will be shown.
- Phase 4. The final deliverable will be delivered.
Some of the benefits are listed below:
- It can be used by Physiotherapists to do their exercises from distant places.
- It can be used with some additions to cure the disease of hand tremors.
- It can be used with some additions to cure the arm paralysis.
The final deliverable will be a hardware system. This system will have three main parts. These three parts are listed below:
- The reading part. In this, part brain signals will be read from the arm of the person who will be the controller.
- The processing part. In this, part these signals will be processed and a visual representation of these brain signals will be provided.
- The writing part. In this, part these brain signals will be injected in the arm of the person who is being controlled.
